In the previous video tutorial, I demonstrated how to prepare print-ready graphics in the Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) file format using the Mac OS version of JMP. I wanted a chance to also show the step-by-step tutorial using JMP on Windows, as well as show the 300 DPI output option when saving files in the .tiff, .jpeg, or .png formats, which is new feature introduced in JMP 10.

Thanks for posting this. I have read all your previous posts. I am curently using jmp 9 on a windows 7 system. Can you please post a tutorial on how to export .eps files by using the graph builder. In the graph builder jmp only lets me copy the picture I created and does not allow the "save as" option. I believe "copy picture" function does not export in 300 dpi quality because when I want to edit in Adobe Illustrator the resolution is not sufficient. Can I get 300 dpi resolution graphics out of the graph builder with my current jmp version?

thank you so much for this! I had troubles finding the "save as" feature in the journal window because it is a bit hidden as a drop down in Jmp 9. Now that you posted this I went searching for it and well it works and I can proceed with my analysis now!

EPS does not support transparency (it's that old!), but there is an extension to it called pdfmark that does. Unfortunately not many products support pdfmark, not even Adobe Illustrator. JMP writes its EPS output in such a way that it uses the pdfmark extension if it is present. The only product I've seen that supports it is Adobe Distiller, and only then if you replace

/AllowTransparency false

with

/AllowTransparency true

in the .joboptions settings file. But if you're using Distiller, which converts to PDF, you're probably better off exporting to PDF from JMP.
